dipti bhatnagar, an African with a diaspora heart, has been an activist for over 20 years. As an ORA Fellow, she is exploring the enduring legacy of 500 years of colonialism, slavery, and genocide—histories written into African bodies, minds, communities, and countries.
Her work seeks to surface the solutions, strength, and lived experiences of Africa’s peoples—those who struggle and survive, and who hold deep wisdom to share with the world. Through storytelling, dialogue, and connection across borders and seas, dipti hopes to spark collective remembrance, healing, and transformation.
